Pembina Gorge MP Report141229.Indd North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area Master Plan December 2014 North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area Master Plan December 2014 Red Canoe LLC FOREWORD The North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2015. As we look to our past and what has been accomplished over those 50 years, great things have happened and many families have created wonderful memories hiking trails, swimming in lakes and sitting by a campfire at the end of a long summer day. Recognizing the evolution of the ‘State Park’ throughout the past 50 years, it’s important to look forward and prepare for what’s to come in the next 50 years. North Dakota is growing. The ways by which people recreate is growing. Our mission as a department is to provide recreation opportunities for the people of the great state of North Dakota. As we look to meet the needs of our constituents, master planning efforts provide great insight into user trends and needs through public meetings, participation surveys and great conversations with stakeholders in the surrounding areas. As the Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area came on line in 2012, the focus for development was to provide opportunity for Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) users to recreate with the implementation of a trail system to accommodate all classes of machines. It is clear, through this planning and input process, that OHV use remains important to the visitors of the Rendezvous Region but this is just one of many recreational opportunities in the Pembina Gorge. Hiking, biking, equestrian, canoeing, kayaking, along with many more, were identified as recreational activities sought after in the Pembina Gorge. Along with these activities, people are looking for associated amenities to meet their needs while they are here. It is very clear, as well, that people recognize the value of the Pembina Gorge in the sense of wilderness that it captures and is rarely found in North Dakota. To address this, we’ve developed some guiding statements to help define both the area and the overall theme of development. The main guiding statement reads: “The Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area was established to provide various types of recreation, while conserving the natural resources and preserving the intrinsic quality of the area.” So, with that statement in mind, we’ve designated the forested areas of the Pembina Gorge for conservation and recreation, while keeping development of amenities to the outlying areas as we work to provide access and opportunities for recreationists all four seasons of the year. The Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area Master Plan lays out a framework to create a recreation destination like no other in North Dakota. With breathtaking views and opportunity abound, the next phase of the development of this area promises to deliver great results as people become more familiar with the Rendezvous Region and northeastern North Dakota. We look forward to seeing the visitor’s smiles and gasps as they explore the Pembina Gorge, maybe for the first time, and appreciate the beauty that exists right here in our state. Mark Zimmerman NDPRD Director i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Pembina Gorge is an extraordinary river valley located near the Town of Walhalla in northeast North Dakota. The Gorge is rich in scenic views, biodiversity, wildlife, history and paleontological resources. This combination of landscape and resources has made it a popular outdoor recreation destination for generations. Traditional recreation activities in the Gorge include paddling on the river, hiking, hunting, scenic driving, downhill skiing, snowmobiling, off-highway vehicle (OHV) riding, among others. The Gorge is an important resource for recreation and the economy for nearby private land owners and the Town of Walhalla. The State of North Dakota established the Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area (SRA) in 2005 and is managed by North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department (NDPRD). The SRA was established to provide various types of outdoor recreation, while conserving the natural resources and preserving the intrinsic quality of the area. The SRA is approximately 1,500 acres of state-owned lands and has visitors that come from communities in North Dakota, northwest Minnesota, Manitoba Province in Canada, among others. A trailhead and 16 mile multi-use trail were constructed in 2012 which in particular has become a popular destination for OHV and mountain bike recreation. There this currently 1 full-time and 1 long term seasonal year round employees; with a seasonal trail crew of 2 managing the SRA. NDPRD developed a master plan for the SRA in 2014 to create a long-term vision for visitor experience, facility development, resource conservation, and management. The plan was developed with extensive input from the public and government agencies. Research was conducted to identify opportunities, constraints and public opinion about preferred recreation experiences. The recreation opinion survey showed a strong preference for camping, restrooms, picnic areas, more trails and a visitor center. Guiding statements have been prepared for the SRA that document its purpose, signifi cance, goals, objectives, primary visitor experiences and interpretive themes. The SRA and Pembina Gorge area have the potential to become a signifi cant destination for outdoor recreation activities in North Dakota. The key to making it a destination is to create a recreation network of rural roads, trails, river access, overlooks, and visitor services both in and around the SRA; as well as the Town of Walhalla. Along with providing more recreation opportunities, it will be important to conserve the Gorge’s resources and natural landscape while respecting private property. The master plan document defi nes solutions and priorities to implement it over time. Successful implementation of the plan will require funding and cooperation with collaborating organizations. SRA visitors, residents of North Dakota, the Town of Walhalla and other collaborating organizations will benefi t from implementation of the master plan. Master plan priorities include forming a collaboration organization, acquiring more land for recreation facilities; developing a campground, scenic driving routes, visitor center, picnic sites, and a variety of trails. If an investment is made to provide unique visitor experiences and quality information, the Pembina Gorge has the potential to become a very popular outdoor recreation destination. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword i Executive summary ii Table of Contents iii-iv Introduction 1 Background 2-22 Geography 5 Climate 6 Hydrology 6-7 Paleontology 7 History 8-9 Natural Resources 9-15 History of Pembina Gorge SRA 15 Community 15-16 Rendezvous Region 16-17 Socio-Economic Setting 17-18 Recreational Opportunities in the Region 18-19 Recreational Use of the SRA 19-22 Research 23-37 Previous Planning Efforts 23-27 Trends in Outdoor Recreation: SCORP, OHV Strategic Plan 27-29 Recreation Opinion Survey 30-35 Visitor Center Feasibility 35-37 Public Outreach for the Master Plan 38-44 Public Meetings 1 through 3 and Public Input 38-43 Implementation Tasks for the Pembina Gorge SRA Master Plan 43-44 iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Master Plan 45-70 Introduction 45 Guiding Statements 45-46 Goals & Objectives 46-48 Alternative Concepts 48-50 Preferred Action 51-70 Introduction 51-54 Master Plan Elements 55-66 Probable Cost to Develop Select Recreation Facilities 67-68 Implementation Strategy 69-70 Contributors 71 Acronyms 72 References 73 Appendices Public Recreation Survey Visitor Center Feasibility Study Probable Cost to Develop Select Recreation Facilities iv BACKGROUND Introduction The Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area (SRA) is located in a beautiful valley carved by the Pembina River in northeast North Dakota. The SRA is 1,497 acres of state-owned lands located about 6 miles west of the Town of Walhalla. The State of North Dakota established the SRA in 2005 and North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department (NDPRD) has managed it for public recreation and resource conservation. SRA visitors come from communities in North Dakota, northwest Minnesota, Manitoba Province in Canada, among others. NDPRD developed this master plan for the SRA to create a long-term vision for visitor experience, facility development, resource conservation, and management. The plan was developed with extensive input from the public and government agencies. Research was conducted to identify opportunities, constraints and public opinion about preferred recreation experiences. This master plan document defi nes solutions and priorities to implement over time. Successful implementation of the plan will require funding and cooperation with collaborating organizations.
